Just incredible. Could not imagine a single better way to put this; very thoroughly explained so that even the newest chicken owner can understand. I really appreciate how the author pointed out how normal and healthy the pecking order is, and how swiftly it can change. And I loved the tidbit about breaking up their line of sight!! It really opened up my eyes to making use of all the space you've got and designing an enclosure that helps your birds behave most naturally.

I am hoping to use these waterers for my own coop. Would love to see more posts on its effectiveness, and how it fairs during the winter. :)

I am worried about winter....I’m sure it will freeze so I’ll probably have alternate winter set up

Going into this article I was absolutely fawning over the pictures! Your hens and your coop is so cute, but where's the story? How did you build it? What does the exterior look like? You've left me with so many questions!! (And some inspiration, of course.)

The story is I used to be afraid of birds but then decided I really wanted fresh eggs and got chicks and raised them and now love being a chicken mama. My boyfriend is a handyman and we watched videos and looked up on what others said was the best ways to make things easy when building and raising chickens and then my boyfriend just started building with no plans and things keep changing as new ideas came in for us. It is a 14 ft x 5 ft very sturdy coop. I'm not a builder so I can't give many details.
I love things to be neat and clean and I heard this is pretty difficult with chickens but I love to decorate and I took on the challenge of decorating it so it would be cute yet comfortable for the girls. I take a lot of time with them and clean 2-3 times a day to keep it up but honestly other then the poop on the sand it is pretty is to keep up.
I never knew how fun it could be raising and watching them go about and enjoy their days, and for us we find it very amusing and relaxing , each day is different and we continue to learn more and more. We are now looking forward to having some fresh eggs soon.
